Greene has an absolute gift as a journalist. I am usually suspicious reading books about other countries that aren't translations. I prefer to hear the news from the horses mouth, but Greene tells the story of an orphanage in Ethiopia like it was here own. She did indeed get extremely involved, obviously cared deeply for the people involved, and ultimately adopted two Ethiopian orphans herself.
Haregewoin Tefarra is a woman who went into seclusion after her husband and daughter died suddenly. She was forced out of her loneliness when a priest insisted she take in two orphans whose parents had died of AIDs. Shunned by her neighbors, she know it is the right thing to do, and continues to take in more and more until she has to hire staff, move to a bigger location, open a private school (since HIV positive children were not allowed to attend the local schools) and eventually get the attention of American donors who help her expand her facilities.
This story is sad and tragic, not just because of the emense reality of the AIDs crisis in Ethiopia, but because of the jealousy and shunning Tefarra receives from the local community.
I highly, highly recommend this book to everyone. It completely opened my heart to a part of the world I will honestly admit I hadn't been that aware of beyond the typical stereotypes.
